A group of scientists in the United States saw 'encouraging' results after testing the commercialization of novel coating materials in field tests, with the coating only increasing a panel's total cost by 1.4%.Scientists from the Madison Area Technical College in the United States have tested superhydrophobic self-cleaning, anti-soiling coatings that, if applied to photovoltaic modules, can purportedly increase the panels' yield by over 3%. The coatings are based on nanoparticle oxide suspensions developed by US-based Microporous Oxides Science and Technology, LLC (MOST), which specializes ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
